Wrapped in soul, blending poetry and polyrhythms, the music of Hiatus Kaiyote is in a lane all by itself. The Grammy-nominated four-piece band is set to return to stereos with their new album Choose Your Weapon.The 18-track, 70-minute odyssey from the Melbourne, Australia-based band takes listeners on a journey through the group’s self-created ecosystem, populated with songs each embodying its own mini-cinematic sonic soundscape.

Fans have already gotten a taste of what’s to come on Choose Your Weapon by way of their December 2014 EP, By Fire, which featured three of the album’s 18 tracks. “”By Fire” is a burial song,” says frontwoman Nai Palm, about the personal track. “It discusses the creative and destructive forces of fire and uses this element as a reference point to express about my father passing away in a house fire.”
